This is why I love technology

In the future you will be able to view the world through your phone (or eventually your glasses) and see the same sorts of things in real time.

Black Seas of Infinity

I recently finished reading a collection of H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories.
The stories were very enjoyable.  It was a difficult and not entirely horrifying read. The biggest challenge, for me, was Lovecraft’s style. It’s too… old. I found I’d regularly doze off while reading (but that could just be that I tend to read late at [...]

Vibram Five Fingers Classic

Whoa. I’m not sure why but I am pretty interested in getting a pair of these. Curious to me why as I’ve never been a "barefoot" person.

One, big, worldwide ant colony

Yep. There’s on big wordlwide ant colony that’s covering the entire planet. Well, sort of.
Scientists have found that when mixing ants from seperate Argentine Ant mega-colonies around the world, they are tolerant of eachother.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) they have not formed one, large, super, world-wide, continuous colony. Instead what we have is a set of colonies [...]
